Yes!

To get hold of my own copies just for myself but then also to be able to get them up on this site would be worth any reasonable sum.

are we talking, like, really good copies?! :D

well the copies that i produce can only be as good as the originals. fortunatly most of my originals are in good condition. only one of them is bent up and may not reproduce well.

on a scale of 1 to 10, (1 being crap and 10 being as good as the originals) the digital color laser copier i would be using should give us results between 8 and 9. i even have access to the same glossy paper.

print cost would be about $2.50 per copy and i'm not sure what it would cost to mail flat in a manilla catalog envelope but probably not more than $1.00 a piece if going to a USA destination. So lets say around $3.50 per issue?

message me with your order info and mailing address, and i will respond with a price and my paypal account for payment. then, upon recieving your payment i will send the issues!

the other alternative would be for me to scan them in at a high resolution, post them online, and let you guys print them yourselves.

I'm in.

Of course, if you mail all 9 together, I'm sure the postage rate would drop! :wink:

Seriously though, if it's a hassle to do this, please don't deal with it just for me (life's hard enough)!

Otherwise, let me know when they're ready and I'll PayPal you the funds.

Well, I'm not at home right now so I don't really have access to much, but one of the really cool old things I remember I have is the old VHS to promote Space Camp. Man, before I was old enough to go, I used to watch that thing all the time! And it definitely shows it age... remember the moonwalker thingy where the kids' area is now? I actually think they still show that video on that light-up orbiter thingy in the museum when one of the video options you get by pushing a button isn't playing...

Doesn't appear to be.
I don't think the company that made it - Solar Wind Toys exists anymore either.

I still have mine. I think I even know where it is. I might have both editions, but I'm not certain. I've been meaning to dig it out and look through it again recently.

Well, one thing I'm sure a whole lot of us have would be light blue uniforms. Who's got 'em?

I still have my Shuttle Ops Manual, however its not in too good of condition due to years of hard use! My copy says "Revised Edition", however, it is pre-1988 return to flight. I think the most recent edition was updated with post-Challenger flight proceedures.

I bought a light blue flight suit from some other web site before ever going to Space Camp, because I wanted it for Halloween, presentations etc. I went with the light blue because, well, I'm an 80's junkie and wanted one that was evocative of that era :lol: I did, of course, take it to camp as well.

Somehow my light blue suit was taken. Am thinking of buying another one, due to all my adventures in the past. :-)
